Voice Leading 101

This week in the Magic Ukulele Club we're looking at the basics of voice leading or how chords move to one another. The exercises in this video are broken down into two sections: One based around the C E and A strings, and another utilizing triads on the G C and E strings. in each of these we go through the three inversions of major chords and look at what note we can add, the leading tone, to give them a sense of motion.

These exercises are a great way to work your way up and down the fingerboard while keeping an awareness of where the notes are in each chord.
